A Miner Shooting session

Analogue film die-hard collective, The Melbourne Silver Mine has been holding an annual intra-member film based portrait shooting event each year for a few years now. Last winter I hosted a gaggle of them for a meetup in Melbourne’s Campbell Arcade with the view of shooting one another.

It was a rather successful day which took us from Campbell Arcade, through Port Phillip Arcade, into the crusty and asbestosisly ambiguous Nicholas Building before coming to rest with ales at Young & Jackson.

We each took our turns being image subject and image maker.

Many sought to capture my magnificence.

Size matters to Mr Marc Morel.

Kat White was in town, Lan’s a fan.

All of my photos are taken with a Canon EOS5, 50mm 1.4 shot on Legacy Pro 400 (Thanks to Lea for developing the film).

The following are some of the pics by others taken at this meet.
